Re the HW division of the 70's, I am 45 and I remember watching a lot of fights at this time, I believe part of the reasion we hark on about the 70's being the best era for HW's is partly nostaligia. It was the first time that people could watch fights at home in colour and we had the legacy of Ali getting everyone stirred up. When Ali was gone we kept waiting for the replacement which obviously never come. There were a lot of good fighters in the 70's and there were the return matches and rubber matches you wouldn't get these days.
Having so many belts hasn't helped, we oldies were spoiled by watching the best and not being subjected to a bunch of second rate fighters haggling over a title that everyone knows doesn't really make you a bona fide WC.
Not to say the 70's scene wasn't good but maybe it wasn't THAT good after all.A lot of what is said is with hindsight and by the next generation, not many people moaned when Tyson arrived, he was exciting and brought something new, now it's all "well Tyson was never that good"

Wonder what they'll be saying about Pacman in 20 years, let's talk about it then
